I am curious how fixing bugs is referred to as "Enhancements". It's like saying you gained 50 pounds to make you more well rounded. I guess it's safe to now install and use the 2014 products. Every year Autodesk goes through this process. Release buggy software to the masses. Wait for them to find all of the problems and then spend 3 months fixing those problems. Is anyone actually installing and using an Autodesk product for production work on the initial April release? Plus, if you look at yesterday's post, expect two more updates over the next year. How do they find time to create new features when so much time is needed to fix existing version software. I guess the only answer is to invest more resources in programming and debugging instead of making the AEC world the guinea pigs of problematic software.

Enjoy your day of lost productivity as you download and install these lovely patches, I mean 'Enhancements'. en·hance(n-hns)
